The Promo-LEX Association urges Moldovan citizens, who will be abroad on the election day, to register in advance by filling out an online registration form in the Pre-registration section on www.alegator.md.
The registration may also be made on paper by filing an application form, signed individually or collectively, with the Central Electoral Commission and / or the diplomatic missions, consular offices of the Republic of Moldova.
There are 5 days left. Voters may register by January 9, 2019.
Even if the number of pre-registered voters is only one of the 5 criteria set out by the legislation, the analysis of the evolution of the number of pre-registered voters shows that the location and number of polling stations to be opened in single member constituencies outside the country can be influenced by voter activism.
In the analysis published on October 16, 2018, Promo-LEX mentioned the number of 2448 pre-registered voters. On January 3, 2019, there were already 7,945 voters, by 5,497 more, especially in the European states located to the west of Moldova.
According to the Promo-LEX estimates, provided that the other indicators remain intact and the number of pre-registered voters increases exclusively, the distribution of the polling stations per constituency would undergo the following changes:
+4 for SMC no.50 (states located to the west of Moldova) from 88 to 92;
-3 for SMC No.51 (US and Canada) from 17 to 14
– 1 for SMC no. 49 (states located to the east of Moldova) from 45 to 44.
Considering the above conclusions, we repeatedly urge voters based abroad to register as actively as possible, as pre-registration can influence the number and location of polling stations in the constituencies situated abroad.
Bring the polling stations closer to your place of residence!
